I solved this problem by going into device manager and uninstalling the usb drivers. Then when I plugged the hard drive back in it reinstalled the driver and worked.
Disk Management Console view is not up-to-date.

I went to do something with partition magic (it recognized something with the pointers I believe, so I allowed it to automatically fix the error) and now I'm not even able to access Partition Disk #0, Partition #1 which is a drive that I used to store data (No OS). It doesn't appear in 'My Computer', but does appear in Disk Management but it doesn't seem like I can do anything with it besides delete the partition. There's a lot of data that I have stored and I don't want to lose it all.
I used a partition tool to find out what sectors each of the partitions are starting at and for one of them it's sector 15 and the other it is sector 33. I'm not sure if that has any significance to my problem, but just thought I'd let it be known.

Hello trichard13,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers Community.
Try using diskpart to assign a drive letter to Disk #0, Partition #1.
· Click Start Orb > type diskpart
· Right-click diskpart in results above > click Run as administrator
· Once diskpart loads type list volume, press enter
You should notice that you will see your partition that you use for your data, it should not show a drive letter assigned to it.
· Type select volume 6 **** (replace 6 with the volume number assigned to the partition in question)
· Type assign letter Z (replace Z with the letter that you want to assign to it)
When you look in Computer, you should be able to see your partition.
Hope this helps

2011-06-16T05:21:10+00:00 Worked for me. Thank you very much.
Yay! This worked for me using Windows 7! Here is the step by step version:
- From RUN, type diskpart and click OK
- At the DISKPART prompt, type automount
- From the Device Manager , find the device not being recognized. Mine was under Storage Devices, I think.
- Right click on the device and choose Properties
- Click on the Driver tab
- Click Uninstall
- Unplug the device
- Plug the device back in
The driver was automatically installed, it's mounted to My Computer and I immediately got the AutoPlay window.
